] 1999 PEUGEOT 406 Coupé 3.0 V6 Engine keeps cutting out, usually when cold. A sudden jolt of the engine while driving or stalling when idle. Could be garage-bound again…
MIKE LE CAPLAIN PRODUCTION EDITOR
] 1997 JAGUAR XJ6 3.2 Sport Taken this week off. Can’t do much at the moment, perhaps, but I’ll be very annoyed if I don’t get at least a couple of runs out in the Jag.

] 1966 VOLVO 121
